Kolli Rajyalakshmi, an orphan was admitted to HEAL in 1993.

She and her sister both grew up here in the Village. She finished High School but did not show any interest in continuing her studies.

She was given odd jobs to do in Chethana but councillors were wondering how to settle her. Luckily one boy who joined as a physical education teacher in Chethana was willing to marry her and her marriage took place on the 18th February 2005.

Arranging a marriage to an orphan is not very easy, the councillor did a commendable job with all the arrangements.

As an orphan there would be no marriage dowry but the parents of the boy were very understanding and did not demand any dowry

The couple will be settled in in a new home and we wish them the Very Best of Good Wishes for the future.

Dr K S Prasad, Usha and Manga Devi have agreed to finance the wedding for which we are all very grateful.

On Friendship day “The Hindu” News Paper conducted painting competition to HEAL Children

On Friendship day “The Hindu” News Paper conducted painting competition to HEAL Children. The topics were India in My Dreams and a Festival of their liking. The children did so well and there is a very big and wonderful coverage in the paper with the caption ‘THEIR CREATIVTY ASTONISHES ONE AND ALL’ – It was riot of colour at the HEAL Home for Orphans on Friendship Day.

They also wrote…If it is by choice that one makes friends world over, at places like HEAL Home for Orphans, friends are made to console each other and matter more as they are the only ones to say their own. At ‘HEAL’ the orphanage on Chetana campus it is ‘Friendship Day’ everyday.

Their basis of existence and relationship with all around them is based on ‘friendship’ as they do not know from where they belong to or even if they know they do not have anyone to relate to.

Imagination of those Orphan children is on par with any of the creative skills of an urban child of an elite school and surprisingly in all the three categories the younger lot have outshined their counterparts either in portrayal of topic given to them through imaginative sketching and filling apt colours’.

When the winners were rewarded with valuable prizes and all the participants received the special gifts the whole village was in gay mood.

Mrs Marudwathi supplied the content of the recent ‘Friendship Day’.
